Detailed Solution

Freedom of markets and the Abolition of restrictions on the movement of goods and capital was the strong demand of the emerging middle class in Europe in the 19th century. The first half of the nineteenth century in German-speaking countries can be taken as an example.

To sell his products in 1833, a merchant travelling from Hamburg to Nuremberg would have had to walk through 11 customs checkpoints and pay a fee of almost 5% each. Frequently, duties were assessed based on the size or weight of the products. This required laborious calculation because each location has its weights and measures system.
